Are you trying to harden your box for a reason? A lot of linux boxes have special apps to help you. What OS and version of it do you have?
uname -a will show that, so please post it.
No but you can't be too careful. And sometimes my laptop is connected to free WiFi.
I 've got two laptops: ubuntu and debian
1)Linux 4.4.0-57-generic #78-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 9 23:46:51 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
2)Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) x86_64 GNU/LINUX
My point is: you can break all kinds of services without knowing why. And if someone attacks a random port and there is no service behind it to respond, the attacks fails. So no need to block it. This is why attacks go for a lot of known ports. So known ports may require a minor tweak.
You mean I'do better to change default ports rather than block them?
Thanks.

NOTE
If the programmers used a delayed "require", those files won't show up. Furthermore, this doesn't show all possible files that get opened,
just those that those up in %INC. Most systems have a way to trace system calls. You can use this to find the real answer. First, get a
baseline with no modules loaded.
$ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | perl -nle '/^open("(.*?)".* = [^-]/ && print $1'
/etc/ld.so.cache
/lib/libnsl.so.1
/lib/libdb.so.2
/lib/libdl.so.2
/lib/libm.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libcrypt.so.1
/dev/null
$ strace perl -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
8
Now add module loads and see what you get:
$ strace perl -MIO::Socket -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
24
$ strace perl -MTk -e 1 2>&1 | grep -c '^open.*= [^-]'
35
